[Q] "Application is not installed on your phone" after restart [G1/SuperCSDI (1.6)]
Hey,
so the other day, out of the blue, I noticed that my desktop shortcuts to Twicca and Google Reader displayed the generic "gears" icon and when I tapped them it says "Application is not installed on your phone". I believe this happened after a restart, but I'm not entirely sure when exactly. I haven't done any major updates to the phone, and I've been using the SuperCSDI (Donut) ROM for a few weeks now without any issues.
The applications are not in the launcher either. In the Market, the option to Open the application is greyed out. If I go to uninstall them in "Manage applications", I get "Application not found". The only way to uninstall them is via another application manager (I'm using ES File Explorer), which has a shortcut to Uninstall, and that works. And after uninstalling, I can install them again through the Market.
But this has happened twice already, and to the same apps (Twicca and Google Reader). What gives?
I ran fix_permissions and that didn't do anything. I'm also using apps2sd, which I heard has had some similar issue.
What causes this and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Really? But how come it happens to the same two apps? Everything else works fine. I'll look into it, but I doubt it's the SD card...
More importantly, WHY does this happen? I don't know much about Android's internals (nor about apps2sd), but is there something that gets corrupted? How can I check this?
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
I'm sure I can find settings to regulate timeouts of programs. Lately I gave PowerAmp a try, very neat music player, but when my screen times out PowerAmp does aswell after 5 - 15 mins. First, the program was in my "force close" list in my task manager. I took it out but it still closes.
Somebody?
My phone had the same problem,
took me ages to find out what was wrong - all those google searches paid off tho!
just go to:
Settings > Applications > Running Services
and then delete the original Connecting Music player service...
and if that still doesnt work,
deleting the google listen service may do the trick
let me know if it works
I haven't had the bug for a while but this is a good clue. Thank you so far, I will update here once I tried it out.
Hello,
I'm actually facing the same problem, no matter the player I'm using, the music shut down a few minutes after the screen goes dark.
How do you managed to get rid of the "Connecting music player"??? (called "Lecteur de musique connecté" in my french phone)
I found it in the Settings > Applications > Running Services
but I can't uninstall it (button is disabled).
Please help, thank you
Hi,
well I have not been playing music with PowerAMP lately. But to get rid, or better freeze the program, I guess Titanium Backup would do the job. Why don't you try it out to freeze the native music player with it.
Thank you for your response.
Titanium backup needs my phone to be rooted, so I opened z4root and use the temporary root. A few minutes later, white screen and then it says "temporary root applied. You are now rooted until your next reboot"
I ran Titanium backup which said again that my phone is'nt rooted or that busyBox is'nt installed, but it is.
So, I ran busybox (1.17.1) which says that the phone is'nt rooted too.
So it seems to me that I screwed up with z4root but how?
I don't want to be permanently rooted.
(I will look for an answer on this forum as well)
Thank you
I was having trouble with all the music players crashing as well. I rooted, froze (with Titanium Backup) the Connected Music Player (and other motoblur stuff) and I don't think I've had any trouble ever since with my preference - Cubed player.
goldensgui: I saw somewhere else on these forums that temp root doesn't really work for MM2 - but you can unroot your phone anytime - I do have the option to undo the permanent root (not sure if it works [correctly])
Well, thank you dymonaz, I've followed your advice and rooted my MS2.
I had to root it twice because the first try froze my phone (I waited more than 30 minutes staring at the rolling icon ^^) and I reboot it
The second try was a success (only 2 minutes)
Then, I had no problem with Titanium Backup.
I froze the "Connecting music player" with it and a few motorola's stuff like TV channels etc.
But this didn't solve my problem. I restart my phone (who know's), but no change. So I uninstall and reinstall my player for the nth time and this time IT WORKED and I'm currently using it.
I hope it will last.
Thank you all for your help
I'm afraid I was wrong The fact that it didn't crash for almost two weeks after rooting/disabling motobloat didn't solve the problem, as it crashed again, with the same issue as I was having before:
AudioHardwareMot(1110): AudioStreamOutMot: standby called
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Output 0x12480 entering standby
AudioHardwareMot(1110): Closing Output device

Go figure
It really sucks.
It does'nt work anymore and I don't now why.
Frustrating
dymonaz, how did you manage to get this log?
I was using OSMonitor (from the Market) - it has a log viewer.
It requires a lot of scrolling to find these messages, but after reviewing all the other messages for around a few minutes before and after the crash, there was nothing else that made sense to be the cause, so I ruled them out and figured these are the ones...
I have no idea who "called the standby" or why, but there's a very poorly documented standby() method AudioHardwareInterface in Android source code. Didn't have time to dig deeper yet.
I found that, whatever the player I'm using, every time it shuts down.
02:07:07.100 Kill com.maxmpz.audioplayer (pid 5555): provider com.android.providers.media.MediaProvider in dying process android.process.media
Does someone have an idea?
Do you guys put the gallery in the auto-kill list in task manager?
I read a post from other forum long time before, I remember they found out that excluding gallery from auto-kill list would work!
I personally tried to put gallery into auto-kill list before(I forget it will shut down the music player). after I exclude it, the music player never stop unexpectedly again
have a try!
I've got the same problem and thats so bad.. -,-
You were right about the gallery put in auto-kill list, WongJames.
I came with the same conclusion removing one by one the applications in the list.
And it appears that the gallery shares the same provider with the music player.
Sorry about the delay and thank you.
(One new weird thing is that gmail doesn't sync anymore since my player is back)
i didn't understand one thing: i have to put the gallery.apk into the black-list (of which program?) or put it out the black-list?

DO NOT put the stock gallery into auto-end list of ANY task manager/ task killer
And I found out one thing, freezing the stock gallery in titanium backup would not shut down the music player
I used to use Quickpic, so stock gallery is useless to me
I must say that ever since I upgraded with the 2.2.2 SBF, I haven't had a single crash.
I do have all the crapware frozen: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11180030&postcount=17
Good to hear that. At least Moto fixed that.

Thank you WongJames, this is my first post in this forum, and the don't-auto-kill gallery-advice actually works for my MM2
For some reason I feel that my music sometimes chooses the stock music player as default. For example on the notifications it will open the stock music player if I click the currently running song in Google Music. (see attached screenshot)
Go in to application management in settings, find the stock music application and select clear defaults. Then try clicking the notification in the pull down bar and it should give you the option of selecting either the stock music application or the google music application. Select thr google music application as default.
If that doesn't work you could try removing the stock music application with titanium backup

Worked
Is there anyway to have it also show the album art and song info too on the lockscreen?
*deleted* I figured it out. I am not awake yet, I guess.

OK, I haven't figured it out at all. I am trying to use Titanium to remove the stock music app. Titanium says the phone will reboot twice and the app will be irreversibly removed. So it reboots to the screen with the triangle with the exclamation mark inside with the android next to it and it stays like that until I hit the key to get to the menu. I choose Reboot Now, which it does, but it never reboots a second time and the stock player is still there. What the heck am I doing wrong?
weird I never have to reboot to remove an app with TB, and i removed my stock music app many times! Weird... did you click uninstall in TB? Is TB up to date? I'm gonna assume your rooted...
TB actually pops up a message that says the phone will reboot twice, then the app will be gone. I was able to remove the old Google Music app using Terminal Emulator so it all worked out in the end. I just don't know why TB didn't work.

Thats why I have never had it ask to reboot for ANYTHING lol. It just does it's magic and poof done.
I updated to music 4.0 like is posted here.
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...s-all-new-interface-better-controls-and-more/
I did lose my music, but was able to get it syncing again easily. Only thing... I don't have any playlists. I hope this isn't by design. I even tried creating a new playlist on the computer to see if it would find that one. No deal.
Anyone else??
Future FYI--
I don't know about different version support ie 4.0, but I have had good luck backing up/restoring playlists with MyBackUp Pro. So have never lost them--yet--

I can't install the apk...
Allways get the notice 'application was not installed'

you shouldn't install this music 4.0 if you expect everything to work.
This apk isn't designed to work with 2.3.x it is for ICS.
Works perfectly, just delete data after installing...

Heh, really. So you don't think it's appropriate to ask if other people are having the same problem? That seems a bit strict... especially when it is being reported that everything DOES work.

Here's what I did to get the apk working (v4.0.1.501), with root access.
If you use Titanium Backup, use it to uninstall all existing versions of Music on your phone (this includes both the stock Music app and Music Beta).
Then install the apk.
Open the application, and you should see a notification asking for permission to connect to your Google account. Tap confirm.
Go to Settings, Applications, then Music and hit "clear data".
Go back to the Music app and your music should start syncing from the cloud.
If nothing happens, check that there is an item under Account Settings / Google account, for Google Music, and that sync is activated.
Hope it helps!

Yeah, they take a second or two to display, but they're there...

Hmmm, I still don't have mine. I even tried reinstalling. Maybe because I'm only 2.3.3... or I suppose who knows what it could be. Oh well... I can live with it this way for a couple of months I think. I really like the updated version.
Can anyone report if the usability of the player has been improved? I love the streaming feature of 3.0, but aside from that it is the worst music player I have ever touched. Stuff like not being able to create ad hoc playlists, the all songs from an artist playlist sorting the tracks in alphabetical order, and the pointless hiding of the notification bar in the landscape view make me want to punch someone every time I listen to music.
Finally figured it out. I downloaded the official app from the market, which I thought maybe would work... but it didn't. Then when maps 6.0 came out yesterday... well you all know the lack of internal space. So my N1 was so screwed, it wasn't even connecting to google servers and getting my mail because the space was so slow. I also noticed how the music app just kept saying it was syncing (the spinning circle).
I decided to cull the apps a little, and really free up some space. Well after about 20 minutes, finally my playlists appeared. So the music app was building a database, but then running out of space and stopping, and I guess it was leaving the playlists until the end. My database was also missing a lot of songs. An album might have been missing half the songs (of course they were all there on the web).
Just for the record, I'm not talking about pinning my music and downloading it or anything, I mean even just seeing the songs on the phone without offline access.
Hopefully I can live with almost no apps until January when I can get a GN.
When I enable bluetooth on my S5 in my car, it auto syncs with my Ford Sync systems, so I can play my stuff through the car speakers. When connected, it auto triggers an app and plays the audio straight away. Is there anyway to select which app gets automatically triggered to play? I can't see why its choosing one app and not another.
Thanks,
Jon
Have a look under
Settings>>Applications>>Default Applications.
If your bluetooth app is listed there, press the 'clear' button next to it.
The next time you start bluetooth audio, you'll be prompted to select which app you want to use.....

There is nothing under Default Applications. The app in question is Smart Audiobook Player. Its so annoying because I want my podcast player to auto start, not Smart Audiobook Player. Surely there is a way to stop this?
Is this a 'system' or 'user' app?
And do you have root access?
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
I do not have root access. Not sure what you mean by system or user app. is there a way for me to check?
Did you install the app yourself (user) or did it come preloaded (system) on the phone?......
http://i.imgur.com/rVnFwJM.jpg
I installed it myself. Its Smart AudioBook Player.
Uninstalling this app *should* clear any default startup actions......
Then re-install it as normal.
The next time you enable Ford sync/bluetooth, you *should* see a dialogue box prompting you which app to choose for the job.
If you don't see this, and this app still auto starts, then it might be worth looking in the app settings to see if this auto start can be prevented......
These are the only options I can think of.....If they don't work, I really don't know what else you could try......
Edit.....is 'Ford Sync Systems' an app on your device too?
If it is, there may be something in that apps settings that is auto-activating the other app......
